AIRCAT Pneumatic Tools 4338 .6 HP 3/8-Inch Composite Reversible Drill with Jacobs Chuck 1,800 RPM

I tried this out because they said it was quite compared to other air drills, well....they were right, this thing is very quiet compared to others I have either used or heard in the past. This air drill as with all air drills I have used have no torque so you can't drill screws with this thing but holes in metal seem to be OK and some soft woods. The smaller the drill bit the better in wood. I have drilled several larger holes in metal and have just loved this drill; it's light and easy to use. Usually I am making pilot holes for screws in wood and with smaller drill bits it seems to work OK. The larger drill bits seem to bog it down in wood and it stops sometimes. Another reason I purchased this is because of the keyless chuck that seems to work pretty well. The chuck seems to grab onto the smaller drill bits like the 1/16'' pretty darn good. All in all I am really glad that I purchased this and will look into other air tools made by Air Cat for the future.

I had to replace the IR drill I've had for 15 years because I lent it out to a coworker and he destroyed it. I have just purchased a Nitrocat impact wrench, by the way, by far the best impact wrench I've ever owned, and decided that I'd give Aircat a chance with the drill since I love the Nitrocat so much. Great decision, drill works as good as it looks. Fits well in your hand and is lighter than my old IR. Just to be clear folks, IR tools rock and I do miss my drill. But it doesn't hurt to try new things. Aircat has a really great bunch of air tools and you can't go wrong by purchasing one of these fine tools. This drill is every bit as good as the IR and you will pay less for it giving you a chance to purchase another tool, that's a win win in my book.
